Short Bio

Hello! My name is Wai Lun.
You may call me by my last name, Mak (Mack).



I grew up in Hong Kong before I came to study for high school in the US.
I'm currently taking classes such as CS412 and CS440 this Fall 2024 Semester.
The goofy image above is taken from a trip I spent this summer in Jeju, Korea.
Looking forward to having lots of fun and learning many things!

Activities and Interests

Hobby Media Description Links

Playing Guitar

I have been playing the guitar for almost 5 years. While I've only had a few formal guitar lessons, I later self-taught myself many different chord shapes and scales. The photo on the left is me jamming with my awesome roommate, Greg.

The photo was taken while we were covering a song by Alice in Chains. Greg looooves Alice in Chains. Check out the song here!

Learning
Japanese

I really love Japanese culture. That is why for the past 3 years I have dedicated myself to learning their language. The image taken on the left is me receiving an award for 2nd place for an annual Japanese essay competition held by Consulate-General of Japan in Boston.

For more details about the Consulate-General of Japan: please visit their website here!

Bowling

I love bowling. I think the best part about bowling is that it does not require too much energy. Bowling is one of those rare sports that showers people with surprises and satisfaction at the same time. The strikes gives me insane dopamine!

For any Hongkongers are there in BU (even though there's most likely not a lot of you out there...), here's the location that I bowled at.

Making Games

My dream has always been wanting to bcomee a major game-developer. I would really want to work at Nintendo someday... even though it may look like an impossible dream. Anyways, I recently made a game called Manjuu Mountain using Javascript. Please check it out! This is my first game and it will mean a lot to me if you do!
